Know your prostate cancer risk The Decipher Biopsy test is the most accurate way to determine the aggressiveness of your prostate cancer and assess your personal risk of metastasis. Using advanced whole genome technology, Decipher Biopsy provides valuable information to you and your doctor so that you can make more informed decisions about your next steps in managing your prostate cancer.

• Is active surveillance through PSA monitoring sufficient for me?

• Is localized treatment sufficient? • Do I need more than one therapy (multi-modal therapy)?

Decipher Classification

Patient Management Recommendations

Decipher Biopsy Low Risk

Favorable prognosis – may be suitable for active surveillance and may have excellent outcomes with local therapy alone1-3

Decipher Biopsy High Risk

Unfavorable prognosis – may not be suitable for active surveillance and may benefit from intensification with multi-modal therapy1-3

Answer the following questions to determine if Decipher® Biopsy is right for you: Y N Have you had a prostate biopsy positive for cancer? . . . ¡ ¡ Did your doctor indicate that any of the following apply to you after biopsy? Very Low Risk • Prostate Cancer Stage T1c tumor, AND biopsy Gleason score of 6 or less, AND PSA level less than 10ng/mL, AND presence of disease in fewer than 3 biopsy cores, AND less than 50% prostate cancer involvement in any core, AND PSA density less than 0.15 ng/mL/g. . . . . . . . . . . . ¡

¡

Low Risk • Prostate Cancer Stage T1a, T1b, T1c, or T2a tumor, AND PSA level less than 10ng/mL, AND biopsy Gleason score of 6 or less . . . . . . . . . . . . . ¡

Intermediate Risk • T2b or T2c tumor, OR PSA level between 10-20ng/mL, OR biopsy Gleason score of 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ¡

If you answered yes to any of the questions, then the Decipher Biopsy test may play a role in determining what type of therapy you may need.

Not all prostate cancers are alike The Decipher test: • Tells  you how likely your cancer is to spread (or metastasize)

beyond your prostate • Categorizes  most patients into Decipher high or low risk, to help

determine what to do after your prostate has been removed (radical prostatectomy)

Decipher Test Result

Treatment After Your Prostate Cancer Surgery

Treatment for detectable PSA rise (Biochemical Recurrence)

High Risk

May benefit from early radiation1,2

May require intensification of therapy beyond radiation3

Low Risk

May be safely managed with observation until PSA rise (if any)1,2

Excellent prognosis with SRT and may avoid concurrent hormone therapy3

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then Decipher may play a role in determining if and when you need additional therapy after surgery. If you have at least one of the Medicare indications, you will have no out-of-pocket cost.

This test is covered by Medicare. We accept all private insurance plans and have a generous financial aid program for qualified patients.

What is the Decipher Test? Based on the patient’s personal tumor-based genomics, Decipher Prostate Cancer Classifier: Decipher Biopsy • Performed on your prostate biopsies diagnosed as positive for cancer • May help determine which men may be suitable candidates for active surveillance, which may need local therapy, and which men may need intensified therapy

Decipher Post-Op • Performed on your prostate after surgery (after it has been removed) • May help determine which men after prostate surgery can be safely monitored and which men need additional treatment Access for All Patients

• Medicare Coverage (Mol Dx LCD ID L35868): Decipher Post-Op test covered for Medicare beneficiaries

• Private Insurance Coverage • Proven and comprehensive financial assistance for patients
